Welcome...

Zarafa Camp, Botswana

Where the story of a name became a seed of change…
Zarafa - the "Beloved One" - brings peace and a chance to hear the
beating heart of Africa as you sit under the giant ebony tree that
inspired your safari of a lifetime.

Zarafa Dhow Suites, Botswana

Break free from the bonds of normality and surrender yourself exclusively
to Africa in complete privacy and total seclusion, where safari transcends
and becomes relevant, changing hearts and minds and the course of a continent.
Your journey's end, or its beginning.

ol Donyo Lodge, Kenya

In the shadow of Kilimanjaro a special place beckons.
Rolling hills frame endless plains and nature keeps pace with
eternity in a breathtaking mosaic of living colour.
Here we shared a dream, one which we now share with you...

Selinda Camp, Botswana

A corner of Africa where earth’s elements meet - gently flowing waters bringing life to
the parched earth, soft breezes fanning a sea of grass, the flicker of the fire as you
gaze at a blanket of stars... Home for your soul.

Mara Plains Camp, Kenya

Kenya’s Maasai Mara... Life and death take on new meaning here
and Africa's contradictions - her timeless beauty and raw brutality - make sense.
Resistance is futile as the magic of this place captures your imagination,
never to let it go.

Duba Plains Camp, Botswana

Witness an age-old battle played out in a wilderness without end,
where survival hangs perpetually in the balance.
This is Duba Plains, in the heart of the Okavango Delta...
Home of legendary lions and those who would
protect them for generations to come.

Selinda Explorers Camp, Botswana

Return to the time of Livingstone and Selous, when Africa was alive
with possibility and hearts were filled with the spirit of discovery...
Experience the luxury of simplicity, the thrill of authenticity
and the true call of the wild.

Mara Toto Camp, Kenya

Africa is a teacher and this is her classroom - landscapes that help you
understand the bigger picture and learn that by touching the earth lightly and
immersing yourself in a positive, life-changing experience, your safari
leaves a legacy of good.

Selinda Canoe Trails, Botswana

Perspectives change when you become one with Africa,
navigating an ancient waterway in the time-old tradition of the
great explorers, seeing the world with new eyes...
This is a unique opportunity to experience total immersion
in the essence of wilderness.

Why your safari matters

Protecting Africa’s last pockets of pristine wilderness is more than just a philosophy or the passion that drives us… it is our way of life. You, our guests, are our partners in this lifestyle choice and every journey you take with us makes a difference, contributing directly to conservation and communities, helping to save big cats and other critically important African wildlife. Our camps are a testament to what we have achieved together on this incredible path we have chosen.

Every month a winner from each category will be chosen personally by Dereck and Beverly Joubert and receive a signed certificate. Monthly winners will be entered into the running for the grand prize of a two-night stay for two at Duba Plains Camp during the calving season, announced in June 2016.
